When Iām in my manage testing section it would be so useful to be able to go to the group message directly from there I find myself having to back in and out if screens and back to the shop,back to the pattern to then go to the group message of the pattern testers I was just looking at. Iāve not been doing this long but that is already quite cumbersome, I can imagine much worse when you have lots. Many thanks!
(we just moved this to a new topic)
Just to clarify - as a designer, you say wish to jump quickly to your group messaging with your testers from your shop. Is that right?

From the tester page would be better is what I think they were saying

From my assignment page (where you approve and gift etc) to the group message that if youāve previously sent one or to be able to create that group message straight from there, rather than having to go back to the pattern in the shop to do this. So for example two use cares this would be useful 1) Iāve just approved everyone, create a group message straight away from here. 2) testing is happening,someone has finished early so I go gift them the pattern,this ticks them off the list,but now Iād like to announce that in the group message. it encourages the others.

On the subject of tester workflow,may I make another suggestion? Itās as a tester or even for any pattern, would it be possible to more quickly access any chats/messages you have with the designer? Sometimes thereās some back and forth and currently you have to come all the way out from the ribblr patternās part and back into the community section then find where the chat is itās not too bad if the chat is recent because then itās in the list when you click your profile icon but if itās fallen off that list itās a bit more tricky than a one or two click thing . For example, in a recent chat,I needed to check the line numbers in the pattern, whilst giving feedbsck, went all the way through the menus to get to the pattern,then all the way back again. Thank you.sorry if Iām being annoying.i work in development

We understand. We currently donāt have a more elegant way of doing this - though crafters can easily message designers from within the pattern. For designers taking feedback and going back to the pattern is slightly more complex. Weāll get there!

Yes, I noticed that link but I was already in the middle of the chat with them and wasnāt sure if it would take me to the right place or start a new one.thank you for listening and being so receptive to feedback. I think your platform is awesome.

As a tester it does take you right there, as long as you followed the 3 simple testing steps. In which case we save the message thread the designer originally started with the testers so they can jump right in.
Thanks! Our pleasure.

Ah in this case it was a bit strange,the designer didnāt do a tester call with the new features but put a photo and then just gifted those people who indicated they wanted to be testers. So it was in āmy patternsā rather than testing anyway. I donāt actually know if we would have received karma for this actually because it didnāt use the features or if karma is awarded on the act of gifting

Unfortunately no. If they didnāt use the testing tool our system has no way to recognise this as a test.

Unfortunately, Iād have to agree: cumbersome to have to back through so many pages or have to āre-filterā the current sort you put your viewing in. Too bad it cant just rememberā¦kinda hard to explain lol. So maybe example:
Lets say im in my wish list, I sort by low to high to make my free wishes come to the top
You click on the one you want, click āget itā, then the app takes you directly to my patterns, instead of back to the sorted wish list.
This is just one example of what I think @Madeformygirl is referring to? @Ribblr might help with this??
